A Baker’s Dozen

I got the call this morning from the embryologist with such good news. Thirteen fertilized eggs! After all those ultrasounds and counting of follicles and measuring the size of them (with such great disparity 7mm-28mm), in the end, I have more than a dozen that fertilized! Thirteen to be exact.

I have no doubt that’s all the good, healthy eating (warm foods), acupuncture, healthy living and positive mindset, prayers from ya’ll and…well, those injection drugs helped a bit, too, I’m sure. 😉

We won’t know how many of those 13 will make it until Monday (day 5), the day of my embryo transfer. Usually about half make it. So, in the end, we expect to have about 6 or 7. And even if we have less than that, we still have plenty to choose from. I couldn’t be more thrilled!

Caitlin, the IVF coordinator that is an angel sent me this email this afternoon.

Hi Regina,

It’s the personal touch that makes all the difference, eh? I just love that.
